LLM Comparison


Mistral

Mistral

Overview

Developed by some of the researchers behind Llama, the Mistral large language models are the gold standard for accessible and performant open source models.


Mistral AI offers 7B and a mixture-of-experts 8x7B open source models competitive or better than commercial models of similar size. Available under the Apache 2.0 license, the Mistral models are now also available via most cloud vendors. After releasing their open source models, Mistral AI has also begun offering Small, Large, and Embed models via their business API.

Vicuna

Vicuna

Overview

Released alongside Koala, Vicuna is one of many descendants of the Meta LLaMA model trained on dialogue data collected from the ShareGPT website. According to the authors, Vicuna achieves more than 90% of ChatGPT's quality in user preference tests, while vastly outperforming Alpaca. As of May 2023, Vicuna seems to be the heir apparent of the instruct-finetuned LLaMA model family, though it is also restricted from commercial use.
